Subject: Re: [PATCH]: Can not set the IPV6_PKTINFO option

If it is simply replacing IPV6_PKTINFO with IPV6_RECVPKTINFO then I'd be happy to do this.
Anything more complicated than that - it would be good to have some of the developers taking
a look. 

Here is the text of the manpage (ipv6 in section 7):

IPV6_PKTINFO
  Set delivery of the IPV6_PKTINFO control message on incoming datagrams.  
  Only allowed for SOCK_DGRAM  or  SOCK_RAW sockets.  Argument is a pointer to a 
  boolean value in an integer.

The v4 IP_PKTINFO works in the same way as the above description.
